It has been awhile since I posted any paintings but I have actually been painting. The recent stuff has mostly been oil but you will notice a couple of watercolors in frames I painted in oil.

The painting above is a small (4x4). I painted it to go in a little pre-Christmas exhibit of small art....but it wasn't finished.

The three paintings above are oil on wood--little pieces of I believe pine.  These are pieces of wood used to hold cheese plates sold at a local grocery. I salvage them. I don't gesso them or anything, just paint right on the wood.  The last one, of mangroves, may not be finished yet. The first one I was going to tinker with more but thought I might actually make it worse.

I bought this piece of red oak (a scrap from a Home Depot) to use as a little table for painting watercolors while I was housesitting/catsitting and didnt want to ruin my friend's coffee table. I used it then it sat around for awhile and I painted some background color on it. Then it sat around some more unti I picked it up and started with some details. I had to (and perhaps have to) resist the urge to tinker with it more.
The two pieces above are 6x4 watercolors in little frames I painted with oil. The one on the right has been posted here before but I do not think the one on the left ever was.

    For many years I painted. Then I stopped. These paintings started out a sort of experiment. Even when I did paint I never did watercolor. I spent a lot of time trying to be Van Gogh painting oil. Most of the paintings were unfinished. I decided to start using watercolor based only on the recollections of what my father had tried to teach me years ago. The newer paintings are the more recent. If you go back to the beginning you can see the early stumbling ones.

    I didn't start by drawing, I didn't practice. I just painted. I haven't included ALL the paintings and at some point I will post the first ones I did. But most of the paintings--for good or ill are here. Some are oil and also gouache.
